Post-Game Talk: WCSF GM01 | Canucks defeat Oilers | 5-4 (Joshua, Lindholm, Miller, Zadorov, & Garland) | LET’S GOOOOOOO

[Petey O]

Look, I'll be the last person to defend the alleged acts by Coffey, but is anyone able to provide a pic or vid that shows the racist gestures? This is not the first time I've asked.

Call me crazy, but I like evidence before I get truly outraged.

I'm still trying to figure out how you make a racist hand gesture toward a turban. Making a 'wrapping' motion is the only one I could think of. Has anyone come out and said what exactly the gesture was?

Hook this up to my veins.

Thinking of that diving backcheck EP did to prevent McDavid going in on a short breakaway.


I think McDavid is a bit injured and Drai definitely is. They probably checked out a bit while the score was 4-1. Then Canucks came crawling back and by the time it was 5-4, they were too "flat footed" in the game to ramp it up again. Too little time to flip that switch.

Canucks need to be cautious as they'll probably be more prepared next game. Must have underestimated Canucks for sure.

 

[Regal]

I will personally drive a car of money to Zadorov's house

If you don’t tell anyone about it maybe it can get the AAV down

 

[TruGr1t]

Hook this up to my veins.

Hughes is about the best guy in the league you could have on the ice against McDavid, maybe Heiskanen.

 

[Javaman]

Anyways, to get back on topic, the Canucks continue to own the Oilers this season. They're just finding new and exciting ways to do it. I'm sure the Toronto-based media will be overjoyed by this outcome.

I thought Soucy was equally as good if not better. He was running guys over, stealing pucks, blocking passes. Making huge plays. He was a force.

Soucy was f***ing outstanding tonight.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I knew the Nurse-Ceci pairing was god awful but holy shit, Lindholm/Garland/Johsua obliterated them.

 

[Nucker101]

Play Bains next game to trigger Paul Coffey

 

[Peen]

Hadn’t been a fan of Soucy in R1 and in the second half of the season but man, he was back ON it again

 

[LemonSauceD]

Hopefully the guy who sold his tickets to the best Canucks game in like 13 years because his gf had a tummyache is doing OK right now.

Cmon bruh

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Bad game for the $9.25 million dollar man.

They can't figure out how to put a negative spin on it, so they had to call Bieksa the fan club president, and juice got a good chirp back

 

[bobbyb2009]

Me too. It’ll only have 20 bucks in it though

In pennies though, so there is that.... it will seem like a lot?

Cmon bruh

Condolences, that was a very nice thing to do, but don't do it next time.

Curious if this was hunted by the Canucks or what Knoblauch wanted. Canucks “third” line isn’t actually that and would be a terrible coaching decision to think that way.

I saw Hronek beat him out a few times as well.

 

[Orr4Norris]

I will personally drive a car of money to Zadorov's house

So if fans start a go fund me where a player receives the cash if they re-sign…that wouldn’t count against the cap. Just saying…

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Great comeback. That was just electric.

 

[Vector]

Soucy was f***ing outstanding tonight.

It’s one of those things I said during the 1st round. The next series doesn’t really play into the previous one. Cole was great against the Predators but struggled in this one. Soucy was the reverse of that.

 

[TruGr1t]

I saw Hronek beat him out a few times as well.

Hronek was very good, and had one outstanding play where he cut McDavid on the outside. He looks like he's skating better, maybe the time-off was good for him.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Should have called the game.

 

[AzNightmare]

I can guarantee you that if it were Demko in net tonight his cult would be cutting him slack on at least 3 of those goals. As would I...

Nah, those were terrible goals. If Demko did this, I would be very worried. I don't think Demko has had bad goals like this before, or at least not since being an established elite goalie.

At the end of the day, we're playing with house money in Silovs and DeSmith. I expect better, becuase they do have to be if Canucks want to take this series, so I'm going to criticize hard. But I also understand they're not Demko, and Silovs is very inexperienced in the big stages.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Back in 2014 Paul Coffey made a racist/discriminatory? remark when he was coaching a midget team and was suspended or something.

Yeah I guess winning the first WHC medal in Latvian history at home (and winning the MVP) isn't much of a big game hockey experience...
